Wireless Terminology

1,G, 2G, 3G, 4G - what does it all mean? First the caveat, you'll never get the maximum speed of each standard. For example, the 4G lab standard states a range of 100Mbps to 1Gbps, but in the real world, you can usually expect to see more like 15-60Mbps. Slower speeds are due to infrastructure loading and phone speed issues.

1G - The first generation of wireless technology marked by slow connection speeds used primarily for voice transmission, not data.

2G - The second generation (G) of the AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) microwave spectrum which covers 1695Mhz to 2200Mhz. 2G is marked by connection speeds up to 2Mbps. Expect speeds of about 100Kbps.

3G - The third generation of AWS, marked by speeds up to 200Mbps, but typical speed is more like 8Mbps.

4G - The fourth generation of AWS, marked by speed of 100Mbps to 1Gbps. Expect 15-60Mbps.

4G LTE - The Long Term Evolution (LTE) which should deliver speeds closer to the stated lab standard or upward of 100Mbps.

4G XLTE - A bandwidth charger, the Xtended Long Term Evolution, theoretically should deliver TWICE the speed of LTE.

5G - We may see this appear in 2020 with the standard published speed to be 1Gbps to 10Gbps. Expect much less due to the time it takes carriers to upgrade the AWS infrastructure.
